Abstract
A radar apparatus and method of reducing interference which can reduce an amount of interference are provided. The radar apparatus transmits a modulated pulse signal and a non-modulated pulse signal. The radar apparatus includes an interference frequency detecting module and a map generating module. The interference frequency detecting module detects an interference frequency that is a frequency of an interference wave, based on reception signals containing a reflection wave caused by either one of the modulated pulse signal and the non-modulated pulse signal. The map generating module generates a frequency map for specifying an interference band that is a frequency band where the interference frequency exists and a no-interference band that is a frequency band where the interference frequency does not exist. A central frequency of at least one of the modulated pulse signal and the non-modulated pulse signal is set based on the frequency map.
